| Description |
Children raised in poverty, during the prenatal period through their first years of life, are vulnerable to multiple risk factors. Some of the most poignant risk factors associated with poverty impact typical early brain development. These risk factors include: maternal/paternal depression, insufficient nutrition, environmental toxins, risk of child abuse, risk of trauma, and quality of care. Experiencing poverty early in life can have negative impacts on all domains of child development. Early intervention has been shown to decrease the negative effects on infants and toddlers. This workshop helps participants process and learn about poverty and its impact on typical brain development, general development, and will begin to discuss their next steps.
